INFO FROM SHIRLEE DRUMMOND-HAY: Elisha Hattery Leach was given as a ward to Diana Ball and her husband William J. Leach when Solomon was only 2 years of age. Diana later adopted him legally. They apparently had done well for themselves in owning much properties. However, they had no children. I suspect that is the reason for Diana adopting Elisha. A descendant reports that his death record gives his mother's name as Sarah Jane Keairns and the father as Solomon Hattery, or Solomon Hattery-Leach.
Solomon married Martha Christina JENSEN on 29 Nov 1914 in Woodbury Co, IA.1 (Martha Christina JENSEN was born on 6 Dec 1893 in St. Paul, Howard Co, NE,1 6 died on 14 Apr 1957 in Independence, Jackson Co, MO 7 8 and was buried in Woodlawn Cem, Independence, Jackson Co, NI 7.)
